DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—Tony Stewart, the three-time Sprint Cup champion who won the Nationwide Series race Saturday at Daytona International Speedway, visited fans who were in the hospital suffering from injuries sustained following a last-lap accident that showered the stands with debris.

Stewart went to Halifax Health on Sunday night to visit with the seven fans who remained in the hospital. The fans, in stable condition, were among 33 either treated at the track or taken to the hospitals that day.

The seven fans remained in stable condition as of Tuesday morning.

Stewart was subdued in victory lane following the Nationwide race, where Kyle Larson’s car was t-boned by two others, got airborne and had the entire front torn off.

Larson’s engine and one of his wheels stopped along the spectator side of the catchfence. But one wheel with suspension still attached made it into the stands, as did several smaller pieces of the car and possible fencing. Larson’s crash occurred in an area of the fence that can be taken out to allow fans and officials to go from the stands to the racetrack before the race.

Stewart did not publicize the visit but a Stewart-Haas Racing confirmed he went and saw the fans.

“These fans are die hard to this sport and the drivers,” Stewart said after the race. “They come to watch a great show.

“The last thing you want to do is have any of them get caught up in a wreck that happens on the racetrack.”

Stewart owns the Eldora Speedway dirt track in Ohio and said he believes the Daytona fence is constructed properly. Two sections of the fence had to be repaired for the race Sunday.

“That's about as safe a fence as you're going to get,” he said. “It's constructed right.

“As much safety stuff involved as you can get up there, I can promise you, it had to be one heck of an impact for it to do the damage it did today.”
